Top 20 Current WWE Superstars Who Draw the Biggest Crowd Reactions (Good or Bad)

The true judge of success for a WWE Superstar is the response he/she receives from the live audience night in and night out.

Whether a face or heel, the goal of each superstar is to build up his/her character in whatever way possible to ultimately obtain the continuous applause or boos from the fans. 

Here is my list of current WWE Superstars who receive the largest crowd reactions. 

Numbers 10-1 each have their own slide and video.

20. Dolph Ziggler

19. Drew McIntyre

18. Kane

17. Kofi Kingston

16. Big Show

15. John Morrison

14. Lay-Cool

13. Sheamus

12. CM Punk

11. Jerry "The King" Lawler

10. Alberto Del Rio

Del Rio has made one of the most immediate impacts WWE has ever witnessed by defeating the beloved Rey Mysterio in his debut match.

Ever since, Mysterio has been the prime target of his attacks, thus making Del Rio one of the most hated superstars in the company.

His personal ring announcer, Ricardo Rodriguez, is also helping his argument for making the cut.

9. Edge

It has been proven time and time again that everyone in the WWE Universe is a fan of the spear.

Whether the “Rated R Superstar” is playing a face or a heel, the combination of his mischievous antics, mic work and in-ring ability have drawn the attention of fans around the world. 

8. Santino Marella

Ever since Santino’s debut match in Italy against Umaga, he has won the crowd over with his one of a kind humor and unorthodox in-ring style.

No matter his gimmick, Santino is arguably the best mic-worker in the industry today and his positive crowd reactions are all well deserved.

It’s not very often that you hear continual chants for a “mid-carder” in the middle of a match, let alone chants for a finishing move (cobra). 

7. Rey Mysterio

Throughout his entire career, Mysterio has been a high-flying spectacle and more importantly, the ultimate role model for children.

He has demonstrated that size and strength is a non-factor as long as you have heart, determination and the will to win.

The master of the 619 has earned the respect of children and adults and is continuously one of the most popular WWE Superstars.

6. Michael Cole

Ever since Michael Cole has developed a personality, he has become the most cocky, arrogant, and pig-headed voice in WWE.

He is executing the role to perfection, thus leading to the entire WWE Universe’s hatred towards him.

P.S. This excludes the 8½ “Cole Miners” out there.

5. Wade Barrett

By winning Season 1 of NXT, it was clear Barrett was going to get a huge push in WWE. No one expected him, however, to become the leader of one of the most dominant groups in WWE history.

His ongoing feuds with RAW’s most popular superstars, John Cena and Randy Orton, have really bolstered his status as one of the top heels in WWE.

4. Vickie Guerrero

If you haven’t seen it already, watch the Cena/Vickie segment on RAW when the crowd refused to let Vickie get a word in.

She might be the most hated WWE Diva of all time.

3. The Miz

The Miz has taken the “PG Era” in WWE by storm, playing the most appropriate villain possible for the current PG rating.

Every time his entrance theme hits, the boos pour in and every time he wins a match, the cameras conveniently pan to the countless number of disgusted looks on the faces of young children.

2. Randy Orton

Orton has turned the tables and has established himself as one of the most crowd-raising babyfaces WWE has ever seen.

Whether he’s involved in a match or simply a backstage promo, both kids and adults are behind “The Viper” 10 percent and truly let their voices be heard. 

1. John Cena

Let's face it, Cena is the reason people watch Monday Night RAW.

He garners both positive and negative crowd reactions and collectively receives the largest fan response in the business.

Whether you love him or hate him, he is the face of the company and will continue to be for years to come.
